    Well, the information was public already, so them not finding and admitting to it could well be considered neglect by investors and customers. Keep in mind, anyone (with the proper resources and background) could have combed the same document leak and come up with the same approach. If...

    Creators Update Improves Windows 10 Update Process, Privacy Settings

    Is it possible to tell a given install instance of Windows 10 whether it is in a 'home' location vs a 'work' location? My thinking is, I would not mind Windows 10 downloading etc. during work-hours on a 'home' system, but for my 'work' system I would want it to only download etc. at night-time?!

    'Landfall' Touches Down On Oculus Rift

    What is with this exclusivity thing?! In my opinion HTC Vive seems much more open about how they encourage development of games without requiring exclusivity. smh.

    'Brass Tactics' Brings Tabletop RTS Gaming To VR Battlefield

    Jaber2 you are correct in a technical sense, but the thing you can't get without actually trying is the 'immersion' or 'presence' you feel. Clearly it could be played on a traditional monitor with a mouse, but it would not be nearly as fun simply because of this presence... it has to be...

    So maybe someone (official at Tom's) should start a 'go-fundme' type thing and get the guy a gaming rig with Vive?

    AMD Announces Ryzen 7 1800X, 1700X, 1700 And Pricing, Pre-orders Begin Today

    To me personally, the question I wish answered ASAP is actually 'What Motherboard provides the best (OC) performance'? I already know that I'm going to go 'all in' without looking at $/performance for the CPU... I've been saving and holding out since Phenom-II days and I'm getting the 1800X...
